Abstract (en)

[origin: EP4037298A1] An upper unit configured to open and close an upper portion of a lower unit includes: a first reading unit disposed in a medium transport path, the first reading unit being configured to read a surface of a transported medium; a substrate coupled to the first reading unit; a cable having one end and another end, the one end being coupled to a first coupling portion of the first reading unit, the other end being coupled to a second coupling portion of the substrate; and a facing portion facing the lower unit in a state in which the upper unit is closed, the facing portion being configured to be attached to and detached from the upper unit. The first coupling portion and the second coupling portion are disposed so as to be separate from each other in a width direction crossing a direction in which a medium is transported in the medium transport path. The cable is disposed at a position exposed by detaching the facing portion.
